My Hand Print
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But everyday I’m growing big
And soon I’ll be very tall
Then all my little hand prints
Will be hard to recall
So here’s a special hand print
Just so that you can say
this is how my fingers looked
when I placed them here today.
